Instant grocery delivery is a luxury. Customers can and should be asked to pay more for the service. Otherwise do it yourself. It is completely unsustainable to expect an hour's worth of labor for $5.

...an extra $5 and minimum 10% tip, not $5 per order.

>>rstupe+31
> minimum 10% tip

default to 10% instead of 5%; it's a UX nudge. The user can always change it.

ok I read it as minimum 10%, not thinking the UI would let you change it lower.

>>aphext+(OP)
This. So much. People are behaving like it's an essential utility for the broader public, rather than a luxury for the (upper) middle-class. Usually sounds very similar with Uber and other low-paying services.

I'm referring to what they make now. A shopper grosses under $5/trip without tips.

>>aphext+(OP)
It says additional $5 per order. I don't know how many orders per hour is typical, but this could easily be $20-50/hour if the deliveries can be batched by location?

For the record, I'd be perfectly happy with the price of these delivery services increasing by $5 if it went to the gig worker fulfilling it. That's already a lot less than I tip food delivery drivers.
